    There’s no better way to celebrate the holidays than with the Big River Brass Band at our annual “A Very Brassy Christmas” concerts. This year we’ll be featuring the AMAZING Jens Lindemann on trumpet for some holiday brass selections - from traditional favorites to stunning variations on holiday themes, there is something for everyone.

    Lindemann’s career has ranged from appearing internationally as an orchestral soloist, being featured at the 2010 Olympics, national anthems at the Rose Bowl and for the San Francisco Giants, and recording with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir to playing lead trumpet with the renowned Canadian Brass and a solo Command Performance for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

    So…gather your friends, get your tickets, and mark your calendars. You will not want to miss this opportunity to experience the holiday spirit and musical artistry of the Big River Brass Band featuring Jens Lindemann!
